Facility managers understand that the second largest contributor to lighting costs besides electric consumption is the labor required to install new lamps. Their hourly staffs (when you factor in salaries) changing one lamp or fixture at a time is extremely cost ineffective and time consuming. A far better way is the economical implementation of a cost saving group re-lamp or regularly scheduled lighting maintenance program. The experts at Florida Lighting Maintenance know how to manage your lighting issues, resulting in more dollars saved?

Group re-lamping is the most cost efficient method of keeping your facility’s lighting system up. The concept of group re-lamping consist of replacing all lamps in an area when they reach roughly 70 percent of their performance life. Considering that it may cost 10 times more to replace lamps one at a time, it makes regularly scheduled group re-lamping a more viable practice. Florida Lighting Maintenance has the area’s best re-lamping services. Call us today at (941) 342-8980 to discuss your particular lighting needs.

By contracting with Florida Lighting Maintenance for group re-lamping you’ll discover other benefits. Not only do you free up your maintenance staff to work on other things and you’ll not have to worry about inventory. During group re-lamping fixtures can be cleaned at the same time and new ballast can be incorporated. We’ll bring all the necessary specialized equipment such as ladders and scaffolding. It may seem unwise to replace lamps when they’re still bright and burning, but again it will be more cost effective in the long run to conduct group re-lamping.

Florida Lighting Maintenance’s group re-lamping offers more than just lower labor costs. Lamp-storage costs are also reduced because the lamps are not part of any in-house inventory. Facility managers also know in advance when an area will be re-lamped and can order new lamps to arrive just before the work is done, thereby reducing inventory costs. When the cost per lumen is optimal, managers will operate in a more cost-efficient range. Group re-lamping also keeps your light at levels closer to required levels, promoting higher productivity and reduced fatigue due to stress.

Our Florida Lighting Maintenance technicians can schedule re-lamping during off-hours to better prevent disruptions to normal facility operations. All of our re-lamp techs are highly trained and skilled in understanding electricity as used on power-distribution systems. They come to know all the different lamps and their applications. Because technicians must lift heavy fixtures, climb ladders, operate lifts and work on scaffolds, considerable training is done prevent accidents from occurring.

Group re-lamping done by Florida Lighting Maintenance requires our professionals to use hand and power tools, read instruments and to clean light fixtures. Any of our re-lamping services also involves visual and operations inspections of breakers, fuses, switches and ballasts. Besides replacing lamps, Florida Lighting Maintenance will move equipment for access and dispose of all old lamps and materials left behind. Truly a win-win for facility managers!
